At 4.10am the pop up banner announced a ten minute break. I never had a ten minute break on Poker Stars before. Well, I guess that's something to be pleased about if I don't make it now.
Morning has broken, it's getting light outside. I need to be up early in the morning to take Claire to school and her car to the garage. I wouldn't mind being fit to drive, but that looks like a long shot. 373 players remain. 231 get paid, of which 220 walk away with an $11k package. Which really is an $11,000 cash prize, as Stars cannot register players into the WSOP.
The chip leader is at my table, and he could easily fold to victory, yet he's still playing, calling big bets, and knocking players out. I'd quite like to move tables. I'd also quite like to see a big hand and have it hold up. I'm below average now, but it feels like I'm one coinflip away from standing a damn good chance.
That'd be a $5500 coinflip then. Where did my comfort zone go?
EDIT: Nearly 6am. The four figure coinflop was 66 vs AJ. I raised, and the flop looked good. An ace on the river and it was all but over. 256th. 8 hours, no cigar.
